Jamestown, CA — The ribbon was cut Saturday at noon signifying the grand opening of the new Chicken Ranch Casino Resort.
It kicked off an exciting day of events that included music and significant giveaways. Clarke Broadcasting caught up with Tribal Chair Lloyd Mathiesen at the noontime ceremony. He stated, “We are really excited to finally have this (facility) for our tribe and our community. The grand opening, with the carnival inside our ballroom and Walker Hayes on the pool deck, it is exciting having the building 100 percent done, and being able to showcase everything we have to offer.”
During the ribbon cutting, Mathiesen allowed the younger generation to do the honors, and you can watch the video by clicking here.
